Between Life And Death by faboadetimothy(m): 2:00am On Mar 07, 2016 |
Tiny is the thread That links life and death A second there is Life A swift in Fate brings a knife That shreds the weak link Then the boat of Life sinks. Wailing ends the sweet birth When the old child wears the shirt Morning's joy ends in the night. Are Life and Death not a knitted mirth? Life bends under Death's Might In a twinkle of an eye like a slave. Grey and green trees bow To the wind then and now. Yes, they never rise again And they know all is in vain. The fragile thread has been cut The cutting is like a cracking nut. It makes body and soul part ways Each goes its own destined way One underground plods its way The other into the sky flies away That marks the end of life For the end death never strives. The mouths that sing and praise Alas! Also lament, cry and wail All when the weak thread is cut The wholeness of life has one but Which makes it so undesirable And those who lean on it inviable Weaker and weaker it becomes despite Our lucid failed effort to end the fight And meditate between Life and Death Perhaps the two can give a notice And man no longer will appear a novice When Death comes with its death.
